Hi Mikdog,
I looked at your animations in your sig. I was really impressed with the fidelity/resolution that the Happyland plays on youtube. If you don't mind my asking, What resolution/FPS did you use, and how did you export it to .flv?

The Goldfish music video is just awesome.

Thanks everyone who replied, and I know, one month for both learning and production is not enough time. But, I need to give it a shot, and I have a feeling that my experience with other animation software will help speed the learning process.

Also thanks to the person who sent the PM, I thought that this forum would notify me when a new post was made, as it did the first time someone replied but never did it again.

Anyway, thanks to everyone, and I'll put a link to it if I can finish it in time.

Thanks Mikdog, slowtiger, and dm for the tutorials and tips. Those should really help me out.

I wish you luck ith your project KG204

Rogermate: I export with a YouTube preset from iMovie. Basically, the size is 480 x 360, its a .M4V format, and 25 fps (you could use 24 fps too).

But I think its the size 480 x 360 that matters the most, because I think that's the size YouTube resizes to, so the less resizing, the better I guess.
